I am a Certified Coach and Entrepreneur who is influenced by the grit and determination of her grandparents. My name is Brendalyn - St. Louis, Missouri made me and New York City raised me. It was there I built my professional career in start-ups; opening schools and consulting in health-tech. After nearly 20 years of living on the East Coast, I have brought my passion for building community and skills as a Professional Coach to make a difference in my home-state.

After suffering from uterine fibroids, I turned to eastern wisdom and methods of healing to begin to become well. In April 2021 I purchased 244-acres of land @ Missouri's First Black Resort historically known as Lake Placid. In 2020 I co-founded Salem HempKings with my partner Osei and we have our sights on healing with medicinal hemp and building with the industrial fiber. 

We are seeking collaborations and network connections as we revitalize these 244-acres on what is referred to as the first “Recreational Retreat for Colored folks near the lake of the Ozarks, Missouri” founded by Dr. PC Turner in 1934.

I enjoy playing with her dogs, Chyna & Spice and cultivating hemp with her partner Osei. We can't wait to host you!
